ALBANY — The State Board of Elections today reminds all state residents wishing to vote in the Nov. 3 general election that mail-in voter registration forms must be postmarked by midnight, Oct. 9 and received by a board of elections no later than Oct. 14 to be valid for the upcoming general election.

In addition, any person wishing to change their enrollment for the purposes of voting in any primary election to be held in 2016 must do so by completing a voter registration form to be received by a board of elections no later than Oct. 9.

The voter registration form can be downloaded from www.elections.ny.gov. Alternatively, anyone with an established account at the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles, may register online at their MyDMV site. You can also register or find forms at most state and federal government offices. Residents who have moved to a new county within the state are reminded that they must re-register from their new address. Those who are currently registered and have moved to a new address in the same county should notify their county board of elections in writing of their move no later than Oct. 14.

Persons who are unsure whether they are registered, wish to verify their current address, or find out where to vote, may look up this information www.elections.ny.gov.

New Yorkers wanting to register in-person may do so at their county boards of elections and at many state agency offices throughout the state, but must do so no later than Oct. 9, to be eligible to vote in the general election.
